    Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel, 
the directive issued to you on January 24, 1994, by the Chairman, 
Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. That

fiber textile products, produced or manufactured in Costa Rica and 
exported during the twelve-month period which began on January 1, 
1994 and extends through December 31, 1994.
    Effective on November 15, 1994, you are directed to amend the 
January 24, 1994 directive to adjust the limits for the following 
categories, as provided under the terms of the Memorandum of 
Understanding dated December 9, 1993 between the Governments of the 
United States and Costa Rica:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\The limits have not been adjusted to account for any imports exported
  after December 31, 1993.                                              

    The guaranteed access levels for the foregoing categories remain 
unchanged.
    The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has 
determined that this action falls within the foreign affairs 
exception to the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1).
    Sincerely,
Rita D. Hayes,
